Macs haven't had floppy drives for several years. So, I'm pretty sure you're safe.
Less flippantly, I've been using Macs for all of those ten years, and I've never seen one of your "viruses". I remember an AutoStart worm (autostart was always and ever will be a lousy idea), but that wasn't a huge deal.
So, there you go. Proof by anecdote. : )

As long as they don't all get tiny screens, and I don't ever, ever have to deal with T9, that will be great.
I thought I'd hate the keyboard on the Treo, but it's almost completely without suck.
Almost.
Having said that, for me the killer feature is compatibility with the raft of third-party Palm apps I use on a daily basis. I don't care whose name is on the device as long as that stuff all works.

Why choose? I have a Treo 650.

Missing Sync is easily the worst application on my Powerbook.
I use a Treo 650, and Missing Sync provides daily excitement and drama. I don't want excitement and drama, ever.
What the hell is an error 16394? Their support folks sure don't know...
OK, you might not have any virus problems with Notes. I think it's also worth observing that you don't have computer virus programs by using trained sled dogs to drag around clay tablets that have been carefully scribed with pointy sticks.
"Of course, he is the one to point out that liberals cannot argue issues, becasue they always lose to the fact, so they turn to attacking their opponent personally."
I like that idea, too. But, once your music collection exceeds the size of the largest available iPod, other criteria become important.
It's not hard to design smart playlists that keep all my favorites on an iPod, and then a good healthy leavening of stuff I haven't listened to in a while. I probably won't buy a 4gb nano, but as they increase in capacity and my 4g 40GB gets long in the tooth and short in the battery, it's going to be a mighty attractive option.
Right, because anybody who has a positive impression of this thing must be an Apple shill. No way they could actually think it's a neat piece of hardware, huh?
You have me confused with an anarchist. I simply want the police to be required to not do things that are unconstitutional. I also want the courts to stop allowing police to get away with doing unconstitutional things.
"I expect you are going to work in politics"
I'm not wealthy enough to do so.
If by "vigilantism", you mean taking responsibility for my own personal safety, I am fully in favor. I don't think that's what you mean, though, so I'm not sure what you're talking about.
I don't want "nothing", but I certainly want far less law enforcement than we currently have. I don't care about what drugs people like to take, and I don't think law enforcement should either. I fail to see what that has to do with overthrowing governments...
"They are the same power the feds and local police have when investigated trusts and the mafia and drug violations."
Oh, so just because it's the same as the current breaches of our civil liberties, we should just relax and enjoy it?
RICO is wrong. The seizure laws are wrong. Expanding those powers to cover "terrorists" (which is a buzzword that means "anybody We deem suspicious") is even worse.
Well, I'm sure glad we've got you to tell us what humanity needs.
I happen to be a spiritual person, but I find your assertions overbroad and silly. What works for you might well not work for somebody else. Shocking concept, no?
I'm sorry, I'm not sure I'm going to bother with an hour lecture on this silly subject.
Remember the population bomb that was supposed to happen in India? It was quite the vogue idea in the late 60's. Have you noticed that it totally hasn't happened?

Uh, but they never get anything done. That's the problem.
But hey...you tell yourself whatever stories you like. The Flying Spaghetti Monster told me it was cool.
Guess that pesky global warming was actually a problem after all, if it's causing solar flares...
OK, you might not have any virus problems with Notes. I think it's also worth observing that you don't have computer virus programs by using trained sled dogs to drag around clay tablets that have been carefully scribed with pointy sticks.
I'll take the pointy sticks over Notes.
Angling for a new job, eh? Clever. Evil, but clever.
Ever heard of a TiVo? Heard of HD TV?
What constitutes an "everyday user"? Hitachi obviously thinks there's a market for this drive. I'm inclined to think they're right.
"Of course, he is the one to point out that liberals cannot argue issues, becasue they always lose to the fact, so they turn to attacking their opponent personally."
So Karl Rove is a liberal?
Why paint it? They come in ugly from the factory.

"Why can't you sync iTunes via BlueTooth"
Because it would take a month. BT is handy, but it's sure not fast.
Uh, so get a mini on ebay. What's the problem? Want to buy my girlfriend's? It's blue.

"CO2 and pollution into the atmosphere is pretty darn reprehensible"
Why?
So your stop-gap solution is to relocate millions of people until we figure out how to make decent batteries? That's pretty absurd.
IC engines work fine. They can be made arbitrarily clean and efficient. You STILL don't get to tell people what to do.

Natural systems are remarkably self-correcting.
I'm still trying to figure out the "depleted natural resources" part, so, no, I can't.
The sky is not falling. Dependence on oil is indeed a sub-optimal long term solution, so other solutions are being developed.
Take a deep breath. Or, alternatively, commit suicide and help Mother Earth.
Wow, it's almost like there are lots of different ways to analyze the question, each with a different ideological axe to grind.
Uh, right, because "we" live on a small, isolated, rocky island with no natural resources. I can totally see the parallels.
Wait a tick. You just cited a Fox News story in a comment with the word "credibility"?
Are you being intentionally ironic?
Oh, my bad. I thought we were still on topic. My moderator informs me otherwise.
Carry on.
